Stephen, seeing these details, and taking a look at your form check here: ...

A tip for watching your own power clean videos: Put the playback speed as low as it will go, and watch your elbows. If they bend at all before your...

Not sure if that's directed at me specifically, but in case it is - I am not an SSC or a paid coach, just a guy with thoughts, opinion, and...

If you've only changed programs each time one stopped working, you're short-changing yourself on learning how to make things work. As Johnsonville...

Seems to me that you have a lesson staring you in the face about training volume. 217 lb is light for a man almost 6 ft tall, and all the...

Ted, the Smith machine is not part of the program, because it is in no way your friend. Don't use that trashy thing. You need an unrestrained...

The bar moving forward can be from bad setup (starting with shins too far from the bar -> shins not vertical enough, thus having to move forward...

Yngvi, a serious question, with all respect for you - do you really not know any native-born, white Americans who vote Democrat and approve of such...

These do look much better, yes - as you are noticing, proprioception may need to be retrained from how it feels at first. You seem to be well on...

Daltonar: The hip height is not set in step 4 - it is set by proper execution of steps 1 through 3. An incorrect execution of step 4 will LOWER the...

Thanks for sharing that, Tank - that's a fantastic coaching tool. I generally watch Maj. Broggi's stuff, but had somehow missed that one.

Stephen, how long have you been doing the NLP and how long have your been doing your sport activity? Also, do you have hockey practice, or just the...

What's been going on with your body weight during this process, John?

In my experience, it really helps to treat your protein numbers as seriously as you do your training numbers. Track it in writing every day. Set...

In other words, the entities with actual skin in the game were unwilling to ensure these homes at the limited premiums, because that would have cost...

I'm guessing that 4cm mats (1.5" or so) are more for slowing down impact than they are for dispersing it, which is contributing to your problem....

Wal, the State of California will not allow insurance companies to raise premiums on them. This is why, fairly recently, as it turns out, at least...

Is this the link you meant? a crisis of competence - by el gato malo - bad cattitude

Well, you say that, but the preponderance of that state's history says otherwise.

That's a great catch, Satch. Eliot - if you cannot pull this weight with double overhand or hook grip, it may behoove you to try using straps, to...

Back when I started out training in a commercial gym, the day I realized I could face away from the mirror in the power rack was a game changer for...

I respectfully disagree, Griff. Trying to do TM for all the lifts except the squat will be extremely and unnecessarily complex, and trying to pull...

I'm not sure if this is more of a cause or an effect, Eliot, but have you noticed in the video that your head turns toward the right as you pull, too?

On video #1, look at the difference in your back angle between the 0:22 mark and the 0:39 mark. At the 0:39 mark, your back is less vertical than...

Ah, good - thanks. I think that you may be okay with just starting the method in the video from the static hang steps. It'll be more warmup than...

What is your body weight, and what sort of reps and sets are you doing with chins right now?

Human beings want everything bad to be someone's fault. When you can blame someone, you can manufacture a hope that something can be done by...

As Charlocity posted, the first three questions are primary to look at for keeping progress going. When you're legitimately starting to get...

Aziz, the placement of the bar low on the delts is one part of the form, but not the only one. If you keep moving your knees forward as you descend,...

Your including the link to the previous thread with a video of your DL set is helpful - thanks for including that. Have you fixed the form issues...
